Hello @htg2704!

You have attempted to claim an issue without the labels "help wanted", "good first issue". It seems like you are new to Open Data Kit, so we suggest working on a good first issue issue first. After doing one quick win, then try a help wanted issue. We also recommend reading README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md before getting started.

To claim this issue anyway, comment on this issue again with the command @opendatakit-bot claim --force.

@Chromicle , I have a few doubts regarding this issue. As the settings activity extends Preference activity, one cannot access the toolbar. Shall I make some bigger changes in order to implement my suggestion?

[ajay-prabhakar]

I just gave a try, Our settings activity has to extend PreferenceActivity without that we can not use addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences_menu)
you can add the back button with setNavigationIcon to toolbar please try once again and let me know if you got stuck somewhere
